And I don't care.

If the distro's had done this right in the year+ that this has been in, I 
m ight consider your NAK to have some weight.

As it is, we know that didn't happen, and we've had three different people 
from different distributions say that they wanted to use relatime anyway, 
so it's now the default in my git tree. 

If you want to live in some dark ages, you can do so with the 
"strictatime" thing.
